Playthrough, plainly

The trips your SC must take around the casino before it can leave as cash.

What it is

Playthrough (wagering requirement) is how many times SC must be wagered before redemption unlocks. 1x means bet the SC amount once — blackjack at proper RTP loses only a few percent on average, so most value survives. 3x on bonus SC eats meaningfully more. Multipliers are the hidden variable in every $/SC number.

Where it hides

Signups often carry higher multipliers than dailies (Stake.us welcome carries 3x — non-standard). Some games contribute differently (SpinQuest: slots 100%, tables 20%). The cheap path is almost always the boring one: blackjack, Limbo, dice, or auto-roulette at 1x.

How we treat it

The Menu quotes face-value $/SC and flags playthrough separately rather than pretending it away — a $0.33/SC pack at 1x blackjack is a genuinely different animal from the same face value at 3x slots. When two sources conflict (Fortune Coins 1x vs 2x), we say so and mark it verify on-site.
